Samsung Galaxy S8, iPhone 8 to reportedly sport highest water-resistance rating



apple-iphone-7_fonearena-04

Two major flagships of 2017 – Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 are tipped to sport highest water-resistance rating, according to a latest report from The Investor.

Citing multiple sources, the report said both the devices will come with IP68 water and dust resistance. An IP67 means a device can stay under 1 meter of water for 30 minutes while with IP68 certification offers protection up to 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes. The iPhone 7 is IP67 certified and an IP68 rating will be a nice addition for the upcoming iPhone 8. This year is Apple’s 10th anniversary and the company is expected to make radical changes to iPhone design and features.
On the other hand, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 is already IP68 certified, and is the only smartphone to currently carry this rating. Samsung’s recently announced A3, A5 and A7 2017 edition smartphones are all IP68 certified. LG’s G6, another flagship of this year is also expected to be water and dust resistant, though it is unclear what IP rating it will sport.
Finally the report also adds that Samsung and Apple will use waterproof tapes to protect their devices instead of adhesives.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Press Image Surfaces

Ladies and gentlemen, we now have what might be the very first renders that accurately present Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, both of which will likely be announced next month at MWC 2016 (on February 21, to be exact). Revealed by @evleaks , the renders seem to be press images that may have originated from Samsung (thus not being fan-made renders). In the past, @evleaks unveiled accurate images of many new smartphones ahead of their official announcements, so we're inclined to believe that the new renders are legit. As expected, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge don't look too different from last year's Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. However, while the Galaxy S7 may keep the same 5.1-inch display of the S6, the Galaxy S7 edge could have a 5.5-inch screen, and its render seems to be supporting this idea. Minor design changes aside, the Galaxy S7 series should bring significant improvements over the S6 family, including water-resistance, microSD card support
